MediaQuest Holdings, Inc. is a Philippine media company based in Mandaluyong. It is involved in radio and television broadcasting, as well as direct-to-home satellite services and print media. Though an affiliate of telecommunications company PLDT, MediaQuest is owned by the former's Beneficial Trust Fund (corporate entity - BTF Holdings, Inc.), a retirement pension plan funded through its Philippine Depository Receipts. PLDT does not directly own any media property as the current 1987 Constitution states that media companies should be 100% owned by Filipinos and the company's major shareholders include foreign entities such as First Pacific, and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone.

MediaQuest owns and operates national media firms TV5 Network Inc. (TV5) and Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), as well as pay TV provider and regional radio and TV networks Cignal TV. MediaQuest also owns majority interest on newspaper companies The Philippine Star and Business World Publishing Corporation (BusinessWorld), and 30% of film production unit Unitel Group.
